I want to skip certain domains during my backup but the function "--domains-names-skip" is not supported. Any idea?I'm running on plesk 7.0 and 7.5. For now, i use " --domains-names" instead to backup all the domains except the one that i do not need. It's quite tedious as i need to edit the domain file everytime the new domain domain added or deleted.

These are my options:-
Options:
-h - This help.
-F - Make (f)ull dump(it is default option, -C option is not supported now).
-z - Enable gzip compression for result dump file.
-f <dumpfile>
/fullpath/filename - regular file,
/fullpath/ - dir for dumpfile with default name,
- - use stdout for output.


--clients-ids - file with clients ids list which must be dumped;
--clients-logins - file with clients logins list which must be dumped;
--domains-ids - file with domains ids list which must be dumped;
--domains-names - file with domains names list which must be dumped;

--force - if dumpfile already exists, it will be overwritten
without prompting
--version - show version of Backup/Restore utilities
--nostop - don't stop services during dump procedure (each domain will be turned off/on)
--nostop-domain - don't stop each domain if --nostop is used
--do-not-dump-logs - do not dump virtual host log files
--no-internal-zip - don't compress with gzip part of dump file
(for example: this option disables compression for
vhosts dirs, mail names);

--tar-ignore-failed-read - don't exit with non-zero status on
unreadable files

My question is on the thread title

Are you trying to launch backups from command line? Are you sure that this is the best way to go?

What's wrong with running backup from CLI?I've been doing that for ages.
